Bangor Garth has a pier, the second longest in Wales is 1,500 feet (or 472 metres). Constructed largely in steel, with cast iron columns and screw piles, Bangor Pier comprised a wooden deck punctuated with a series of elegant polygonal kiosks with steeply pitched roofs, ornamental lamps and handrails, and a pontoon landing stage at the head. A 3ft (90cm) gauge railway for baggage handling was also included in the design but was removed in 1914.
The pier was almost demolished in 1974 due to its poor condition, but it survived, was restored and gained a Grade 2 listed status.
